This was quite a departure for Carriger. I am used to her steampunk/paranormal tales, but this was more like a myth or fable. The foreshadowing was a bit obvious, so there were no surprises as far as plot goes, but Carriger’s writing style is lovely to read so I didn’t mind in the slightest.

I was happy to stumble upon this little gem and will quickly blow through the rest I found along with this one.

Die Idee, wie die Römer besiegt werden, finde ich extrem großartig! Vor allem, weil es anscheinend auf einer wahren Begebenheit beruht.

Gail Carriger hat es dann noch geschafft, ihre eigene Magie in die Erzählung zu bringen, die mir trotz der Kürze unglaublich gut gefallen hat. Mit diesen Figuren und dem Weltenbau könnte ich mir sehr gut einige längere Geschichten vorstellen!
